August Release of the Linux Test Project

Michael Reed writes “The Linux Test Project test suite http://www.linuxtestproject.org/> has
been released. The latest version of the testsuite contains 2900+ tests
for the Linux OS. Our web site also contains other information such as:

• A Linux test tools matrix
• Technical papers
• How To’s on Linux testing
• Code coverage analysis tool.

Release Highlights:

• Code Clean ups by Mike Frysinger, Mitsuru Chinen, and Jeff Bailey

We encourage the community to post results to ltp-results@lists.sf.net,
and patches, new tests, or comments/questions to ltp-list@lists.sf.net

See ChangeLog Below

• Added the following files for Mitsuru’s Chinen’s nfs patch
  ns-mcast.h, ns-mcast_join.c, ns-mcast_receiver.c, network_stress.appl, network_stress.broken_ip,
  network_stress.icmp, network_stress.interface, network_stress.multicast, network_stress.route,
  network_stress.tcp, network_stress.udp, ns-icmp_redirector.c, ns-icmpv4_sender.c,
  ns-icmpv6_sender.c, ns-igmp_querier.c
• Made changes to avoid hardcoding test count
  mkdir03.c, open08.c
• Changed the test to account for SLES 10. Now the syslog tests will test
  syslog-ng or syslogd depending on which one is present. The update was
  made for syslog01 – syslog10.
• Corrected the copyright information to reflect SGI, instead of Cray, which
  was purchased by SGI years ago for files get_high_address.c, search_path.c
• Removed the Ping test. The ping test is now skipped on SLES, but does not
  affect the execution of the rest of the test in mc_commo
• Using syscall() rather than _syscall#() macros for the following files:
  sysfs01.c, sysfs02.c, sysfs03.c, sysfs04.c, sysfs05.c, sysfs06.c,
  sysctl01.c, sysctl03.c, sysctl04.c, sysctl05.c
• Added a fix to eliminate whitespaces in getdents02.c, getdents03.c, getdents04.c
• Added a fix to re-order testcases a little to account for uclinux in
  access05.c, lstat02.c, mknod06.c
• A Correction was made to the name of the testcase in code…was incorrectly called signal_test_03 and changed to signal_test_02.c
• A fix to get the max pid value at runtime rather than compile time hardcode
  wait402.c, setpriority04.c,Makefile, getsid02.c
• A fix to remove extraneous include
  swapon02.c
• mc_cmds had two fixes. The test now uses [ae]th[01] in the ping command using the -I option. Also the loop to determine
  which Ethernet interface is needed was moved to ensure that the correct Ethernet interface was selected.
• A patch was added that allows the following files to get the PID_MAX value from /proc/sys/kernel/pid-max:
  access05.c, fcntl15.c, gethostid01.c, lstat02.c, mknod06.c, setrlimit02.c,
  setsockopt01.c, stat03.c, truncate03.c
